Sunday Run

Today was a brisk day but a gorgeous day, blue skies and sunny, perfect for taking a walk/run outside.
My husband and I took our baby boy to his Aunties house, who conveniently lives in the condo below us,and headed on our way. This was the only day my husband had off of work this week so it was nice that he and I had the opportunity to spend some time together.
Taking walks and running with my husband is something I greatly enjoy. We have a great time filled with good conversations, reminiscing of our past, discussions of our future and of course lots of laughs. Not to mention that when we are running we push each other and encourage each other to keep going and not give up. Today was no exception.

At one point we were walking side by side when I reached out and grabbed his hand to hold. It is such a comforting thing,to hold hands, yet rarely do we find the time to actually do so. As I grabbed his hand and gave it a little squeeze it reminded me of a time when we were not yet dating.
The time in our lives where we hung out very often, but as friends. At times during that period I longed for him to reach out and grab my hand...I also longed for him to reach over grab me and kiss me, however it would take several months before any of this would happen.
But as soon as he took that step and kissed me, I knew instantly there was no turning back, the man had me hooked.
When I hold my husbands hand and kiss him to this day I still get the lovey-dovey feeling, I am still that much in love with him. Granted we have only been married for 2 years...I know people who are getting married and have never felt that feeling. I pity them.

Today while on our run we decided to sign up and run a half marathon in August. We are both pretty excited it will give us something to train for through the summer and it's the half way point to our marathon in January.
Our 6 miles of walking and running today with the clear skies and cool spring air was a great way to wake up from the winter hibernation slump we had slipped into.
Now we are re-energized not only to kick butt and train for our half marathon but also to step back and remember just how much we love each other.
Enough of this mushy stuff, it's time for this tired mama to go to bed!
